“Be a kid again” at Luna Park Sydney

A park-wide experience

Rather than confining the event to a single room, the concept embraced the entire park.

To elevate the atmosphere across the park, a live DJ and full sound production were installed to keep the energy high as guests moved between rides, activations, and social spaces. The music created a shared soundtrack for the evening, giving the park a lively pulse.

As night fell, moving lights and custom gobos were introduced throughout the park, washing pathways, structures, and gathering points with colour and texture. The lighting design helped transition the park from daytime attraction to vibrant evening event space, building ambience as the night unfolded.

And of course, the rides were open - because no “Be a Kid Again” theme would be complete without a few spins, drops, and moments of pure fun.

The Big Top: A Thanksgiving celebration

At the heart of the evening was a sit-down Thanksgiving dinner inside Luna Park’s Big Top.

The venue’s built-in immersive projection system became a central storytelling tool. AV1 designed and delivered a custom five-minute video sequence that introduced the theme and shared the story of Thanksgiving with guests before dinner.

Using the venue’s installed technology, the visuals were projection-mapped across every surface - walls, floor, and ceiling - creating a fully immersive environment that surrounded guests as they dined. The experience transformed the Big Top into a warm, seasonal setting that felt worlds away from the rides just outside.

Spaces to socialise

For guests wanting a quieter moment between rides and festivities, the Hungry Horse area was transformed into a relaxed chill-out zone.

Subtle audio and lighting design created a softer environment where guests could gather, chat, and recharge before heading back out to explore the park.
